    I thought he'd given up on it after his comments last week, saying why bother with the effort if he couldn't even place in the final sprints?
    Must have forgotten to tell his teamies that last week, the bollox.

    :pac:

    Took me a while to find the quote...
    Matteo Trentin (CCC Team) again battled for points at the intermediate sprint, taking the win in Châtelaillon-Plage as a block headwind kept the peloton compact for most of the second half of the stage, but after missing out completely in the final sprint, he said, "If you don't score in the finish there is no reason to keep going for this."

    the one thing that stands out for me in all the video clips over the last few days is the genuine delight from all his teammates in the celebrations and congratulations.....It is more than just a pat on the back saying well done......and to me that shows that these guys must think that Sam is a genuinely nice guy

    Who says nice guys finish last :)

    Great, you can expect Tubridy to make some stupid comment about dangerous cycling/cyclists on Dublin streets.......

    Anyone else find it hard at times to listen to non cyclists (non roadies) interviewing the likes of Sam ?

    Questions sound daft at times and you just can't explain to the public what its about in 5 mins

    They say Belgium is the worlds cycling capital but I do wonder if even there the wider population understand the sport

    I found the rookie interviewer Bernie Eisel harder to listen to at the tour to be honest when he was asking questions. I miss Juan Antonio and Laura Meseguer

    Now that Jedward have been recruited by the Illuminati to take out Jim Corr they are alright in my book

    Tubridy will say theres such a sense of irishness to the win. Ask him if he likes guinness. Then he will remember hes actually irish and malfunction

    Covid I guess, though with Laura I hadn't really seen as much of her much since she had her kid. Just the Spanish races really which is understandable or maybe she is doing more work now for Spanish Eurosport, still very much active in Cycling Journalism.

    Went well. He kept to normal stuff which was good.

    Jedward on now and I see Tubridy glancing at clock. Oh man. Next please.

    To be fair to Tubridy, it was never going to be an in-depth interview about the qualities of Morkov’s lead out, but it was a nice relaxed interview. Sam was at ease, enjoyable.

    Can't believe old man Lefevere took his bike :mad:

    Spesh will likely see him right but it won't be the same.
